@Violet: She probably kept missing the vein is her jonesing state, and kept stabbing herself in the arm trying to find it. Could be that she used to large a gauge of needle too. I heard a similar "blood everywhere" tale from a friend who witnessed someone jab themselves in the arm w/ a needle intended to inject a horse.

If you leave your vein registered when you're using, especially in your hands, you will bleed like crazy. And it sounds like she snapped the needle off while registered which is a nightmare if you've ever had it happen or seen it happen. I get a shiver down my spine just thinking about it.

Pitt & Lewis was my first thought without reading other guesses. Depp was at A when he dated Ryder and she was A too, the biggest actress in teen/young films for a period of what, 5 years? Lewis was only A for a hot second like the blind describes.

Oh and a snapped off needle would explain the blood everywhere because you can try pulling it out all you like but you just end up bleeding more. You have to go to the hospital to have it removed… which would also explain why the hospital didn't ask questions.

I'm on the Lewis/Pitt train. We all know the Depp shot Winona story, and supposedly, THAT led to her heavy drug use. It does read like Don Johnson and Melanie but they were married to each other twice and she wasn't using heroin in their early days.

Thanks for that Gayeld..I would never have guessed. Are you a medical professional? I presume you are since you know that tidbit. Wow, really never knew that. Another reason to hate the ER! Odder question: What does it smell like? I would think something metallic. Only time I've been exposed would be cooking meat or something and that wasn't unpleasant.

The smell of blood smells like a mix of iron and sugar. I went to visit a friend who was shot in the tear duct (thankfully he lived) and could only stay in the room a minute without passing out from the smell. It was that day I knew I couldn't be a nurse.

A friend of mine had to quit being an EMT after the Oklahoma bombing. He said he couldn't handle the smell of blood anymore. He was also around it in the service before Okla. but then after the bombing, the smell just put him over the edge.

BTW I thought Johnny was into heroin back towards the end of his Jump Street days. I would imagine he's the reason Winona ever started it in the first place. The dude ran with the likes of Hunter S. Thompson & Iggy Pop. He's not gonna freak out over a shoot up gone bad. Brad on the other hand I could totally see tripping balls over a scene like that.

I read it as Don and Melanie all the way until the end when the blind implies that they ended their relationship after this incident. I don't know enough about Depp in the early days of his career so honestly I got nothing.
